Description
Nearly 75 percent of the almost 25,000 assaults and other workplace violence reported annually in the U.S. occur in a healthcare setting. Among the reasons are oversights in design process and life safety codes that are at odds with security best practices. Pick up insight from seasoned healthcare facility security pros and hear how best to tap their expertise at an early stage. Better security results from more thoughtful design strategies, whether it’s a renovation or new construction project. Hospitals and clinics face constant security challenges because of the constant flux of people coming and going.
